11 taken to hospital after Far South Side crash

A van filled with special needs students collided with another van this morning on the Far South Side, sending nine students and two adults to area hospitals.

About 8:42 a.m., a van from St. Colette School carrying the special needs children had "a low speed minor collison" with another vehicle near the intersection of 111th Street and Wentworth Avenue, said Larry Langford, a spokesman for the Chicago Fire Department.
